the more hawkpaw tried to convince him she was doing fine the more he grew certain that she was in considerable pain, nervous laughs and overexplaining wasnt someone someone did who wasnt lying, or at least he wouldnt expect that to happen..unless the cat was just really nervous maybe. but hawkpaw didnt seem like the type of cat to be nervous about speaking to him, even after having her...friend?? fellow apprentice?? duskpaw be scolded with her standing by. the wince the pale tortoiseshell let out standing up had rookfire reaching out to give her the opportunity to grab him for stability if she wanted.

"no reason ta' try n avoid gettin' it looked at, i wont do anythin' you dont want me to but its better if your body is healthy if ye wanna become a warrior." he shrugged in an attempt to keep this casual to take away some of the fear he suspected in the apprentice. if it wasnt fear, he couldnt really understand what else was holding her back, perhaps pride? but that was ridiculous, every cat, dawnstar and mistlewhisker included visited the medicine cats to get treated..

"doesnt have ta' be me either if thats the problem, mossfreckle can do it as well" he further extended his offer, pushing down the voice telling him it was because he wasnt doing enough. not being clan born was bad enough, failing to earn their trust even after moons was worse, a stab in the heart. or perhaps the lungs and throat as that was what tended to ache mostly when he was overcome by negativity, pain creeping up the back of his throat and the center of his ribcage. it wasnt usually bad though, he could take a little suspicion and snark from cats every once in a while as long as it wasnt like the last gathering debacle. he'd certainly take this over repeating that any day.. single white tipped ear flicking in thought, he considered letting the apprentice be if she didnt want to go with him, which would admittedly feel like refusing to do his job but he could hardly force anyone to get treated.

Oh, Stars dammit. Maybe she wasn't as sneaky and mysterious as she thought. And the mention of not being able to become a proper warrior without being healthy... Well, that was one of the things that finally got her to stop pretending everything was okay. The tortoiseshell she-cat inhaled and exhaled slowly, frowning.

"No, no. It's not that," she muttered under her breath. Did Rookfire think she was pretending because she didn't trust him? Of course not! If anything, Hawkpaw respected him. A lot. He and Sleepysunrise had saved her from getting into a deeper arguement with Duskpaw. She owed him. She put on a much more cheery expression. "I jus... Dunno what's wrong, if I'm being honest. HAH!" That was... A half-lie. She shifted her paws, then brought it over to run her tongue over one of them.

"I mean, I... Uh.. Feel not... Fine... I guess... But... I dunno." Her frown returned, though much deeper than previous.
